Oakland police officers began voting Tuesday on concessions that officials say could save the city $65 million over four years.
The Oakland Police Officer's Association also released more details about the deal struck between union and city officials that would take effect in July:
If officers vote in support of the concessions, the agreement guarantees no layoffs or furloughs until 2015. The agreement will last until June 30, 2015.
City Council members plan to discuss the budget negotiations at a 5:30 p.m. meeting Tuesday at City Hall.
The results of the OPOA's vote will be announced July 7.

This is awesome! I'll bet Oakland will be able to kick the bankruptcy can down the road by at least a couple more years!
